Using the System and 
Application Recovery CDs

The following sections describe how to use the System Recovery and Application 
Recovery utilities. You need to connect the optional CD-ROM drive 
(PCGA-CD51/A) or the DVD drive (PCGA-DVD51/A) drive, to use the System 
and Application Recovery CDs.

This program allows you to reinstall individual applications and device drivers. Use it to 
restore corrupted or erased files.

This program allows you to restore the software titles that shipped with your computer if 
they become corrupted or are erased. It can be used only to restore the hard disk of the 
Sony computer you purchased.

You can reinstall software titles that shipped with your computer if they are 
corrupted or erased. You may not need to recover the entire contents of your hard 
drive. If you experience a problem with your computer, reinstalling an individual 
device driver or software title may correct the problem. Use the Application 
Recovery CDs to reinstall individual applications or device drivers. See “ Using 
the Application Recovery CD(s)”  on page 99. 

The System Recovery CD contains a backup copy of all the software originally 
installed on your hard disk drive. It can be used only to recover the hard disk 
of the notebook computer you purchased.
